Breaking News... and a secret

I have a secret to tell you.....The ONLY reason I am overweight is that I do not diet because as long as I am overweight, my skin is stretched tight and my face has less wrinkles. If I lost 20 pounds I would look like this... the fatter I am the more the skin smooths out... JUST SAYIN..

BREAKING NEWS.. you might Remember the post a few weeks ago This Was The Week That Was? the one where Murphy's Law came to stay the whole week.

Fast Forward 3 days....

Bob came in YELLING down the hall, "the electric bill is here.. $379.00 "and I screamed "WHAT?" I grabbed the bill and there it was.. DOUBLE bill OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO... I quickly searched my memory crazy brain for thoughts of paying the bill....

I remember I logged onto on line banking and typed in the $182.42 and looked down and the one from the month before was only 32 cents more, I was so busy calculating the 32 cents, I FORGOT TO PUSH THE PAY BILL NOW button.

At least they did not charge me a late fee and I was SHOCKED about that and the fact I DID NOT PAY THE BILL and did NOT KNOW I did not pay the bill.And I kept say Darn You Murphy!!!! It was his fault because it can't be MY FAULT...

I am so glad I read this because now I don't have to worry about those mini donuts I ate this morning. I need those to fill in the wrinkles....rofl

Wade pays all the bills around here and not too long ago we got a huge electric bill. He said I thought for sure I paid that last month and when he went to look sure enough it was never done. So you aren't alone on that one

Wow, I can't believe they didn't charge you a late fee. They are ruthless here. One time I misread the bill (before new glasses) and missed it by 12c, paid a $5 late fee with the disconnect notice. Geesh, without that 12c they probably would have gone out of business.

I think you may have given my MOM a reason to have a donut this morning. If my MOM would have gotten that bill she would have fell over right a way. That would be like months and months of electric bills. This month it was $26.78. Blessings,Goose

You are one CRAZY lady!!! That's why we all love you so much!!My oldest daughter is a bit overweight and has been ever since she left home.(She teases me that I refused to feed her!) However - she simply NEVER ages!!! Over 50 now and she still looks like she's in her 30's!

Glad to hear someone else has done this. You need to tell Murphy to get on his bike and pedal on out of there. He is one annoying dude ;) Same thing happened to me a while back. You made me laugh over the wrinkle thing. Great post Sandra and happy Sunday with no Murphy. Beautiful photo by the way.

Another fine fix you've gotten yourselves into (remember Laurel & Hardy?) You should see ME now that I have lost 70 pounds, even my lower arms look like a detailed map!!! The backs of my calves, big long deep ones. Wrinkles where you never even thought there could be wrinkles!! The up side is....tight white pants!!!

Reminds me of the December early in our marriage when we were miraculously flush with money for buying Christmas presents. When the overdraft notices started arriving, we realized we had entered Hubby's most recent paycheck twice!

Yep, Murphy's fault!!!!!! Well, at least you must be in good standing because they did not charge you extra....so far. This was a really cute post.....made me smile but then I got nervous thinking you must have forgot to pay the bill. That did not sound like you at all!!!!! You are so darn organized! Have a good day.

Same thing just happened to me (sort of)I hand delivered my Electric bill payment into their office and handed it to the lady at the counter. She was starting to open the envelope as I turned and left.No record of it on my bank statement and now another bill came with a threat to turn off our utilities if we don't pay our bill in the next two weeks.I am not a happy camper!!!Never have we been threatened or not paid our bill....just saying...so now we have to go through the whole dang business again!

Don't feel bad. One time my hubby accidentally wrote a check to the Cable company using the balance of our checkbook and they just credited our account instead of contacting us to find out if we actually wanted to pay that much.

I usually give the bills to my husband to mail out, but for some reason I was going to mail the house payment last month. I was cleaning out my purse and I found it! I forgot to mail it! In all the 17 years I've been making payments on the house I can say that this is the first time I have ever been late with paying the house payment.

I do agree with the wrinkle plan you have! My mom lost a lot of weight and she has some serious wrinkles.

Wow, I can't believe they didn't charge you a late fee. Last year I was paying the gas bill and transposed the last two numbers. The company sent me a payment due notice for four cents. They made all kinds of threats for that four cents. I called and the customer service gal almost fell off her chair laughing and added it to the next bill.

That is true about the skin. My skin right now is stretched because of the steroids yet I don't see my wrinkles! Glad you didn't get a late fee on that bill. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that Murphy needs to leave your house.....
